Shaylene Marie Farrell, 18, was last seen leaving her family home on Haverhill Drive in Piqua, Ohio, on a summer morning around 10:00 a.m. She said she was going to the nearby Pick-N-Save to buy a bottle of Lipton Iced Tea and borrowed her mother’s silver 1981 Chevrolet Malibu. The car was later found abandoned in the store parking lot on Route 36 with no sign of Shaylene; she never reported for her 7:00 p.m. shift and left behind money, clothing, and identification.

Early on investigators considered that she might have run away after a recent dispute with her mother over smoking marijuana, but family and friends disputed that theory, noting she had returned home weeks earlier and was looking forward to her senior year. Various unconfirmed leads — including a possible sighting at a Greenville club and rumors of a body in woods near the Ohio-Indiana border — were explored but produced no confirmed evidence.

Did anyone in the Piqua or Greenville area have contact with Shaylene in the days before she disappeared or notice her car in the Pick-N-Save parking lot that morning?
